Hello Olivia! Thank you so much for joining! Would you like to share something you care about in your community?

Hello! I try not to buy things with palm oil and I try to keep my community clean when I can! Also I try to plant trees in my yard because of all the deforestation in my community and I care about having trees here!!

I am passionate about the issue of palm oil as well! I joined your group! I was so happy to come across it.

Palm Oil Problems 4 years, 10 months agoPalm Oil Problems 3rd challenge!:
Write to (mailing or emailing) a company that uses palm oil in their products. Explain to them why palm oil is bad and ask them to stop using it! It could be as simple as saying: “Growing palm oil destroys the rainforest, please stop using it!” or you could write a detailed letter! If you have anything to add to…[Read more]-
I wrote to Winco and got them to stop putting palm oil in their muffins!

Hi Alyssa! Thank you for joining our group! Would you like to share where abouts your community is?
-
Hi! I live in Pennsylvania!

I have family there. It’s a beautiful area in a different way to Florida. I miss the cold weather sometimes!
Have you started a project of your own or would you like to share a topic that you’re interested in taking part in?-
I have not started a project of my own wet. A topic I would be interested in taking part in is something to do with veganism. I am a vegan myself and would like to have a project with other people who share the same passion of helping animals. I would also like to take part in something to do with climate change! I believe veganism and climate…[Read more]

Those are both awesome topics and causes of interest. I’d love to form a project around veganism. I live in an ‘almost vegan’ household and we are heading more and more to being full vegans. Maybe you could share some of your favorite recipes with me/us! I think this could be a fun project to take part in!
-
That is amazing! Some of my favorite vegan foods are Violife cheeses and JUST vegan egg! Earth balance and Tofuti also have great foods!

Palm Oil Problems 4 years, 10 months agoHey everyone! I have a question about palm oil! Is there a substitute that companies can use in replacement for palm oil? If so, why don’t they? Is palm oil the cheaper option for companies?
-
Yes, palm oil is cheaper than other oils. Some companies use sustainable palm oil that supposedly isn’t grown in a place where rainforests were cut down, but often the “sustainable” palm oil actually has some sustainable palm oil and some palm oil that isn’t sustainable. RSPO is one label that is the partly sustainable palm oil. CSPO is a more…[Read more]

Thank you so much,Olivia! This was very helpful 🙂

Of course!!

A similar oil would be coconut oil. However, palm oil is actually a pretty worthwhile and high-yield plant. That means it can produce a lot without needing much care, space or nutrient-rich soil. Unfortunately, it is what happens before these trees are planted (the deforestation) and what happens on the plantations (wildlife being killed/illegally…[Read more]

Palm Oil Problems 4 years, 10 months agoPalm Oil Problems 2nd challenge! :
Cook/bake/make a homemade treat to replace store bought foods that have palm oil! For example Pop Tarts have palm oil so you could look up how to make homemade Pop Tarts, or if you wanted to do something more simple you could just make anything without palm oil and not copy a product from the store! If you do the…[Read more]-
Okay,good! Sounds delicious!!

We made our own ‘Reese’s’ Peanut Butter Bars recently! Many peanut butters contain palm oil (often labelled as vegetable oil) so we make our own peanut butter. We used palm oil free chocolate and it was delicious!

Great job!!!
